PPS Mentoring and Induction Program
The Plymouth School system is dedicated to providing quality mentoring and support to all new staff with Massachusetts Initial or preliminary licensure. The Mentoring and Induction program combines one-on-one contact on an ongoing basis with joint workshops on topics of interest to new educators. This program is approved by the Massachusetts Department of Education for fulfillment of the mentoring requirement for professional licensure.
